• Abstract summary: We describe a simple pre-training approach for point clouds. It works in three steps: Mask all points occluded in a camera view; 2. Learn an encoder-decoder model to reconstruct the occluded points; 3. Use the encoder weights as initialisation for downstream point cloud tasks.

• Abstract: We describe a simple pre-training approach for point clouds. It works in three steps: 1. Mask all points occluded in a camera view; 2. Learn an encoder-decoder model to reconstruct the occluded points; 3. Use the encoder weights as initialisation for downstream point cloud tasks. We find that even when we construct a single pre-training dataset (from ModelNet40), this pre-training method improves accuracy across different datasets and encoders, on a wide range of downstream tasks. Specifically, we show that our method outperforms previous pre-training methods in object classification, and both part-based and semantic segmentation tasks. We study the pre-trained features and find that they lead to wide downstream minima, have high transformation invariance, and have activations that are highly correlated with part labels.

  We introduce a point cloud representation learning framework, based on geometric feature reconstruction. We identify three self-supervised learning objectives to peculiar point clouds, namely centroid prediction, normal estimation, and curvature prediction. Our pipeline is conceptually simple and it consists of two major steps: first, it randomly masks out groups of points, followed by a Transformer-based point cloud encoder.

  We propose FreePoint, for underexplored unsupervised class-agnostic instance segmentation on point clouds. We represent point features by combining coordinates, colors, and self-supervised deep features. Based on the point features, we segment point clouds into coarse instance masks as pseudo labels, which are used to train a point cloud instance segmentation model.

  Mixing and Disentangling (MD) is a self-supervised learning approach for point cloud pre-training. We show that the encoder + ours (MD) significantly surpasses that of the encoder trained from scratch and converges quickly. We hope this self-supervised learning attempt on point clouds can pave the way for reducing the deeply-learned model dependence on large-scale labeled data.
